Evil Seed: New Jericho, Part 3 (by Sage Sweetwater)
ACHERON PONCE
Ahoy alien J’sepp! Do you rust?
(V.O.) J’SEPP VULOCKS
No, I am coated with Krylon and Pleaidian zinc sulfate charged with zinc galvanization to guard against corrosion. I was baked in Alcyone, the central sun of the Pleiades.
J’sepp lights up and GLOWS the colors of the CHAKRA. Ponce motions J’sepp to the RIGHT SIDE of the boat.
ACHERON PONCE
Starboard—you have cosmic energy running into your chakras—where are we to find the leviathan?
(V.O.) J’SEPP VULOCKS
I activated my chakra hex color chart. What comes next will put a trace on the behemoth. It is attracted to chaos. Can we get closer to the domes? Can you put a cord through its nose or pierce its jaw with a hook?
Ponce and J’sepp approach closer to the domes in the water.
ACHERON PONCE
What now avatar and enlightened master?
(V.O.) J’SEPP VULOCKS
I’m going to dive back in. I generate voltage like an eel. I have a highly specialized nervous system equipped with electric-producing cells like a battery with the activated side carrying a negative charge and the opposite side a positive one. I will fire my electric organ underwater to create a force field around the domes to churn like a boiling cauldron stirring up the sea to lure the leviathan. The dolphins will surface moving away from the electricity.
J’sepp climbs over the boat railing and dives into the water. Ponce still standing behind the SWIVEL HANDLE of the WHALING HARPOON GUN.
CLOSE ON -- LARGE SILVER CRUCIFIX dangling around the barrel of the harpoon gun.
ACHERON PONCE
Lord my boat is small and your sea is huge. The number of the beast is up. In the name of peace, Amen.

The scene shot underwater, J’sepp activates the electrical charge DRAWING it in a CIRCLE AROUND the DOMES in a JAGGED BLUE-GRAY jumping wall of electricity.
Dolphins swim around the rope of electricity.
DISSOLVE TO:
EXT. BOAT - SAME
Ponce is behind the boat’s wheel steering the boat out further away from the domes. The dolphins surface and ARC completely out of the water and go back under, then ARC out of the water, and then back under repeating. They are swimming fast following the boat. Ponce steps away from the wheel and walks to the whaling harpoon gun. He takes the swivel handle preparing to fire the harpoon when the leviathan surfaces.
The leviathan comes into view underwater. Its LENGTH and THICKNESS is INCREDIBLE. It is propelling fast with its RED RIBBON TENTACLES flailing away wildly CHOPPING at the waves. The sea is CHURNING MADLY. The leviathan leaves its wake in MASSIVE WHITE-CAPPING WAVES. It is headed straight for Ponce’s boat which is ROCKING and TIPPING.
CLOSE ON -- The TERROR in Ponce’s eyes.
ACHERON PONCE
For God’s sake, Job 41! It leaves a glistening wake behind it, one would think the deep had white hair!
CLOSE ON -- BAPHOMET’S HEAD comes out of the water, the leviathan propels itself LARGER THAN LIFE on screen giving out an ANGRY, HORRIFYING SATANIC SCREAM flailing its RED RIBBON TENTACLES in a MAD, WHIPPING FIT!
The SNAKE-SHAPED leviathan TOWERS over Ponce’s boat in all of its MAMMOTH, TITANIC BUILD. Its CRESCENT BLADE TAIL pitches the boat sideways. The boat lands back down upright. Ponce FIRES the HARPOON. The RECOIL knocks Ponce down on the deck. The HARPOON TORPEDO DART UNRAVELS on the END of the CABLE heading straight towards the leviathan.
CLOSE ON -- The leviathan’s MOUTH opens WIDE letting in a MASSIVE RUSH of WATER it SPITS at Ponce in a MASSIVE FIT OF RAGE, FLOODING THE BOAT.
